A gay rights organization, Lambda Legal, has asked justices to consider the case of Oren Adar and Mickey Ray Smith. The defendant in the case is Darlene Smith, state registrar and director of the Department of Health and Hospital’s Office of Vital Records. The child was born in Louisiana and adopted in New York by Adar and Smith, who lived in New Orleans at the time. The couple now lives in Orlando, Fla.Trademark Applicationhttp://www.internationalpatentservice.com/index.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851300.post-33265031804263511022011-07-11T22:27:26.980-05:002011-07-11T22:27:26.980-05:00One wonders how many times the active inducement s...One wonders how many times the active inducement standard will have to be repeated, in how many different ways.Arizona Patent Attorneyhttp://www.galvanilegal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851300.post-62199089496791381012011-06-13T16:40:49.500-05:002011-06-13T16:40:49.500-05:00I&#39;m quite pleased that the Justices defied pun...I&#39;m quite pleased that the Justices defied pundits&#39; predictions and issued this ruling -- I always thought i4i had the stronger arguments, not to mention many years of tradition and precedent on its side.

If Pentalpha had informed its lawyer as to this fact, then the attorney likely would have found the patent. Because of this deliberate failure to inform the attorney of its copying, the prior art search was just a cover, and &quot;willful blindness&quot; makes complete sense.

We all have heard that giving an inventor a temporary monopoly over the invention encourages invention. But a temporary monopoly may emerge from something other than patents. It may emerge from secrets. Trade secrets encourage industrial espionage and reverse engineering. These are not productive activities. As a result, patents are socially superior. Of course, this assumes that the patent is nontrivial.
